tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with
the child restraint say that the
top tether must be attached.
According to accident
statistics, children and infants
are safer when properly
restrained in a child restraint
system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear
seating position. See Where to
Put the Restraint085 for
additional information.
Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH
System
{Warning
A child could be seriously
injured or killed in a crash if
the child restraint is not
properly attached to the
vehicle using either the
LATCH anchors or the
vehicle seat belt. Follow the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
instructions that came with
the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
{Warning
To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injuries during a
crash, do not attach more
than one child restraint to a
single anchor. Attaching
more than one child
restraint to a single anchor
could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or
even break during a crash.
A child or others could be
injured.
{Warning
Children can be seriously
injured or strangled if a
shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck. The(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is
locked. The shoulder belt
locks when it is pulled all the
way out of the retractor.
It unlocks when the shoulder
belt is allowed to go all the
way back into the retractor,
but it cannot do this if it is
wrapped around a child’s
neck. If the shoulder belt is
locked and tightened around
a child’s neck, the only way
to loosen the belt is to cut it.
Buckle any unused seat
belts behind the child
restraint so children cannot
reach them. Pull the
shoulder belt all the way out
of the retractor to set the
lock, and tighten the belt
behind the child restraint
after the child restraint has
been installed.

restraint instructions will
show you how.
3. Push the latch plate intothe buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
There must not be direct
contact of the child
restraint to the push
button.
4. Pull the shoulder belt allthe way out of the
retractor to set the lock.
When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled
out of the retractor.5. To tighten the belt, pushdown on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to push
down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked.

If the retractor is not
locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 087.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat
belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and
back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be
no more than 2.5 cm (1 in)
of movement.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags.
A rear seat is a safer place to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put
the Restraint 085.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 72 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0124 for more
information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if
the airbag deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under

It may be necessary to
slide the adjustable stop
along the webbing toward
the outboard anchor to
fully tighten the seat belt
around the child restraint.
While a child restraint is
installed, the adjustable
stop should be positioned
on the portion of the webbing that does not
interact with the child
restraint.
6. To tighten the belt, push
down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor.
There must be finger
clearance between the
push button and the child
restraint. If there is not
clearance between the
buckle push button and the
child restraint, move the

indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will
come on and stay on when the
vehicle is started.

The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using
the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings

Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets
can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or MP3 player. The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center
floor console.
Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with
the accessory power outlet
and could overload a vehicle
circuit breaker or adapter
fuse. If overloaded, the circuit
breaker will reset after all
devices are disconnected or if
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is turned off and then
back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0273.
Wait one minute to allow the
circuit breaker to reset before
reconnecting devices or
turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue
could be within your device.
Try another known good
device to make sure the circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your
problem, see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the
factory power outlet with a
cigar lighter receptacle,
if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit
breaker to be replaced with a
standard minifuse by the
dealer. A minifuse will not
reset and will have to be
replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse
could overheat the cigar
lighter and damage the
vehicle.
When adding electrical
equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0372.
